ATOT people,
I'm going to be riding the bus/train into downtown for school and so I'd like to get a new highly functional, stylish, robust, and comfortable bag that I'll be able to carry around a textbook, some notebooks, writing instruments, cell phone, keys, mp3 player, umbrella and a water bottle. If you have any recommendations, please post a suggestion and link to product. If you have a bag that you highly recommend, please list it.
I'm considering all types, and styles (conventional, messenger, travel bags, hiking bags, etc). I'd like to keep the price lower than $150.
For the REPOST Police, I did a search for "bags" and didn't come up with much. Plus I think this is a good thread since many of us are going back to school soon.
Conventional Bags:
PROS:
- Easy on back and shoulders since weight is evenly distributed.
CONS:
- Not as stylish as the messenger bag.
The North Face
Targus CVR600
Booq Bags
Mountainsmith Bags
Messenger Bags:
PROS:
- Stylish.
- Easy on and off.
CONS:
- Bad if you walk around too much.
Timbuk2
Manhattanportage
Kenneth Cole Buckle Up bag
Jack Spade (a little too metro sexual for me)
